The Pacific Coast

The stretch of Pacific Coast west of Panama City features jagged coastline spotted with decent beaches, plenteous wildlife, some luxury hotels and golf courses and a fair amount of islands just off the coast. One of the benefits of this side of Panama is that it doesnâ€™t face the disastrous hurricane season that hits the Caribbean side every year. Some highlights of Panamaâ€™s Pacific Coast are:

Isla Tabago can be reached by speedboat from the docks about half an hour outside of Panama City and offer a complete escape from life in the congested city. The water is much cleaner out here than it is in the city. However, you will see large ships and oil rigs anchored in the distance, waiting to pass through the Panama Canal.
